Modimo, Rara wa Rona, Re utlwe fare Rapela
1. Modimo utlw’ fa re rapel’,
Romel’ tshwaro ya go tsatsi’ le.
Jaaka re tsaya tshwao lago,
Re ikhutsa ratong la Mmolok’.
2. Rara re fe tshwaro yago;
Re pha tshimisetse lesedi.
Jaaka re ja le nath’ la senkgwe,
Re bontshe kamogelo yago.
3. Fare nwa metsi a phepa;
A mo wa wag’ o nne gaufi.
Re itshwarele rea rapela;
Tshegofats’ maiteko ka metlha.
